We
urgently need other/better devs.
(...) The bridge between ThomasV and de.WS has been
burnt.
The resolution of this particular bug, which is
dear
to de.WS and
ambivalent outside of de.WS, will absolutely
require a
new dev
taking interest.
I hope we can avoid rehashing the all the could-a,
should-a, would-a
again and focus on what can be accomplished from
where
things stand.
I'd like to add that there may be a community consensus on
this
subject in de:ws . But in fr:ws, we agree with ThomasV that
allowing
IPs to proofread can be more dangerous than useful (but I
know there
are fewer IPs on fr:ws than on de:ws).
Speaking of consensus is not fair, regarding the debates
that Birgitte
refered to.
Just to clarify. The bug discussion progressed into making the issue
configurable.
This would mean fr.WS would configure things to not allow IPs (desired to
maintain things the same as current local set-up) and de.WS to allow IPs
(desired to restore a historical local set-up). This is why I described
those outside of de.WS as ambivilent (it does not matter very much to them),
they will be able to keep their desired local set-up with or without the bug
resolved.
